Measuring the Acceptance of Smart Home-Based Technologies Among the Older Adults: Systematic Literature Review

The general acceptance of smart home-based technologies among older adults is investigated in this systematic literature review, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the methodologies used to measure this acceptance. Given the pivotal role of housing in the wellbeing of older adults, smart home-based technologies have emerged as potential solutions to enhance their independence and safety. Despite the numerous benefits associated with these technologies, their acceptance remains a challenging aspect. The review has demonstrated that the methodology for measuring acceptance among older adults exhibits significant heterogeneity, often depending on prior utilization of a particular technology. Beyond this observation, the review identifies additional trends and serves as a foundational resource for advancing research on the digitization of home environments for older individuals.
